Manchester United are set to travel to Selhurst Park to battle with Crystal Palace in the Premier League tomorrow.
The Eagles are winless in the league this term, recording two draws and two defeats in four matches.
Palace manager Oliver Glasner enjoyed a fine finish to the 2023/24 campaign, and expectations are high this season.
A win over Man United would be a fantastic way for them to rejuvenate their season. They did the double over the Red Devils last term.
Palace duo Jean-Philippe Mateta and Eberechi Eze could pose a massive threat to United.
The 27-year-old striker has blossomed under Glasner’s guidance.
He scored 16 goals in 39 appearances across all competitions last term and has had another four goals in six games this term.
The arrival of Eddie Nketiah from Arsenal has brought additional competition for the number nine spot and could spur on the Frenchman.
United must also keep a keen eye on Eze who has registered four goal contributions in six games.
The 26-year-old is Palace’s chief source of creativity and can unlock defence with his vision.
If the United defence can keep the duo quiet, their chances of beating Palace would increase massively.
Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez are expected to be in the heart of United’s defence.
The Dutch defender had a great outing against Southampton in both boxes. He was solid at the back and gave his side an important lead.
The defensive pair must keep Palace’s main attacking threats in check.
